Transcript signals

Bull points

  • we've grown our value-added services business to be 30% plus or minus of our business, and we've done so while preserving the overall margins of Visa, and it's grown across a number of portfolios.
  • there is definitely a profitable business. It's incremental revenue and incremental profits to Visa. But there's also this flywheel where as our clients continue to grow faster, they continue to drive volumes and drive spend back to Visa. And that's good for both of us, frankly.
  • Our cross-border business has been and remains strong and healthy. Even with the latest data that you referenced, the April data where cross-border had ticked down 1.9, if you normalize for Ramadan timing, that April data is impacted by Ramadan timing and the Middle East conflict. And if you normalize for Ramadan timing, it will be back to February levels.

Bear points

  • Our expectation is there's going to be more competition in Europe, not less.
  • the conflict in the Middle East.
  • Non-operating expense was $45 million, above our expectations, primarily due to lower cash balances and higher debt levels and interest rates than forecasted.
